Most pet shops are not going to admit to where they get their stock from. Animal welfare organizations such as ASPCA, Local Humane Societies, PETA, Breed Specific Rescues, Breed Clubs, Veterinarians to name a few will strongly advise people against purchasing a puppy from a pet shop. The internet is full of information that cautions people against buying from pet shops. You will be hard pressed to find anyone or any organization that would encourage people to buy from a pet shop. I know there are sweet little puppies out there in pet shops that deserve a loving home. But you are risking the possibility that the puppy came from a questionable background. Pet shops & puppy mills will continue to exist as long as there is a market for the product. The only way to stop them is to stop buying their puppies.
